Ancestry.com Comment: According to a comment left on my Ancestry.com Family Tree Profile for Richard Moore from Aimee 21 added 7 Sept 2013. "Was a very famous pottery maker to the area, his work is still sought after and is in museums"Web Page: "If asked where he was going he was instructed to say "to Richard Moore's pottery," as the straw in the wagon, it would be supposed, was for packing the pottery on his return."

"Having but slight acquaintance with the friends of the slave in the northern end of the county, I can only say that the friends of the middle section generally forwarded the fugitives to Richard Moore, of Quakertown, or sometimes, more directly further on by stage or private conveyance to the Vails or to Jacob Singmaster, of Stroudsburg. On reaching these northern points, having put so many miles of weary travel between them and their masters in the South, their feeling of security generally increased, and still more was this case on reaching Montrose, or Friendsville, in Susquehanna County, where, under the kind care of Israel Post, in Montrose, or Caleb Carmalt, in Friendsville, and other friends to aid them, that had reached ground on which, in those days of difficult travel, the slaveholder but rarely ventured in search of his slaves. A comparatively short journey from these places brought them to the State of New York."Endnotes
